| Mark Knopfler – The Fizzy and the Still Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Fizzy (sparkling) and still (non-sparkling) are the two types of bottled water. I think this is here used to symbolize a failed relationship between two very different personalities - it is implied that the girl is a Hollywood actress. "LA without a map" is a great movie with this theme; sometimes the prize is not worth the price. There is a sense of defeat in the narration, an intense and exciting lifestyle is not for everybody - yet the boy may in fact have "done good", going back to core basic values instead. The narration may be interpreted as a comparison of the mundane (visiting his parents) with the lost fantasy - and the grieving of this loss. |
